Morality (or Ethics, or whatever) of the
subject. The subject must roll the
appropriate degeneration and derangement
rolls.
Exceptional Success: Same as Success, but
the sin is three levels below the current
Morality of the subject.
Bleed Bleed the the Betrayer Betrayer ( (●●●●) (
The Blood Dragon becomes mildly
aware of the subject's actions. She knows
he is working towards or against the stated
goal, provided the event is significant
enough. If at any point she detects he is
drifting off the path, she may spend a
Willpower point to roll Bleed the Betrayer,
which inflicts bashing wounds on the oathbreaker.
The subject remains unaware of the
damage's source (Unless told), and feels
only a crushing sensation in the vicinity of
his heart. Since bashing damage heals
quickly (Save the overflow that goes to
lethal), this usually is not an effective
combat tactic. Medical examination
mistakes it as a heart attack, but the oathbreaker
can feel in his soul it's something
more than that. Bleed the Betrayer is best
used to scare an oath-taker back onto the
path.
This philosophy requires one turn of
physical contact to apply (but not a roll),
within one hour of the Bind the Scars
Philosophy. Bleed the Betrayer lasts for one
week after it is applied, and may be used as
many times as the oath-taker drifts from the
path. The duration may not be extended.
Cost: 1 Breath to apply
1
Willpower to activate
Dice Pool: Resolve + Socialize + Furnace +
Blood – Composure - Furnace
Action: Instant
Roll Results
Dramatic Failure: The subject is
inadvertently let off the hook, though the
Blood Dragon remains unaware of this. She
may continue on to the last level of the
Philosophy, but it will always fail.
Failure: No bashing damage is inflicted,
and the subject gets away with stepping offtrack.
The Dragon cannot make use of the
final Philosophy’s wrath until she’s inflicted
damage with Bleed the Betrayer at least
once, though she may apply it.
Success: The oath-breaker suffers a number
of bashing wounds equal to the successes
rolled. This damage can be dealt from any
distance, via the connection between Dragon
and oath-taker.
Exceptional Success: Same as Success, but
the Willpower is not spent.
No No Greater Greater Justice Justice ( (●●●●●) (
By the same connection forged in
Bleed the Betrayer, the Dragon watches for
signs that the subject is abandoning or
forsaking the oath. If he is turning his back
on the promise, the Dragon has the option of
boiling his blood. For a single point of
Breath, she inflicts Presence + Socialize +
Furnace + Blood automatic lethal damage,
minus the target’s Composure (And Furnace,
if he has one).
No Greater Justice is an instant
action, but not every Dragon is capable of
spending 2 Breath in a single turn. For those
that are not, they may drag out the touch
over two turns by sacrificing their Defense,
until they can pay the full price. In such
cases, the touch must be maintained for the
duration of these turns, and the roll to
activate is made on the turn in which the
total Breath owed is paid.
And unlike Bleed the Betrayer, the
roll for this Philosophy is made on
application and not activation. No Greater
Justice lasts for one week once it is applied,
and must be applied again after it is
activated. However, unlike the other levels
of the Blood Philosophy, No Greater Justice
can be extended almost indefinitely by
spending Willpower. Each point of
